We tend to think that “idolatry” means someone bowing down to a statue and praying to it in a shrine. It’s really easy to dismiss that practice as not even remotely a temptation to us today in our culture and to discount everything the Bible says about idolatry as being irrelevant to us. Big mistake!

Usually today is prayer day. But my schedule has been suddenly disrupted this week – which is fine. God is certainly sovereign over that. I have been wanting to share this post and am so excited to get to share it today with you. From Rev. Harold Weaver’s marriage class, posted with permission. (Rev and […]

I am not a therapist, psychologist, a licensed sex counselor, a pastor, a trained counselor or a psychiatrist. I am just a part time pharmacist and a wife who loves Jesus. The survey questions I had a week or so ago revealed several things about my readers and their marriages that I would like […]

From a precious sister in Christ, Terrie: This picture was in my newsfeed this morning, intended as humor, but it struck a chord with me. Maybe it strikes a chord with you, too. As believers, we are expected to react to the tragedies and trials in our lives according to the Word of our God, […]

Well, my husband did X, so – it’s ok if I do Y. Some fictional examples: My husband cussed me out, so I yelled and screamed and told him he is the worst father on the planet in front of our kids and told them they don’t have to listen to their dad anymore. My […]

Unfortunately, many of us know pastors who have succumbed to the temptation of an affair. Often, a pastor’s/minister’s/Christian counselor’s affair destroys his marriage, his family, his career, his ministry, his reputation, his power in the kingdom of God and sometimes completely tears apart his entire church. Many times – these kinds of things can even […]

Let me begin by saying – I am NOT an expert in this area. I don’t condone any spouse flirting outside of the marriage. That is wrong and dangerous, in my view. I have corresponded with dozens and dozens of wives in these kinds of situations. I only write for wives – so I am […]

If you are a wife who is married to a man who does not do a lot of talking, this post is for you! Please keep in mind that it is very normal for opposites to attract. Talkative people often marry more quiet people. It makes sense. But sometimes once we are married, we get […]

You’ve had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Then you’ll grow up mature and whole in God. I Peter 2:2-3 MSG Today, Nina Roesner – author of The Respect Dare – talks about how God truly knows best for us and is kind to us. […]

The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote […]

I’d like to encourage you to continue smiling at your husband and children – and now also to begin to focus on having a friendly, pleasant tone of voice whenever possible and whenever appropriate. Just to bless your family. Just to honor God. Just to display the gentleness and love of God through you. […]

Originally posted on Peaceful Single Girl:A lot of *girlfriends and wives have this viewpoint today. They try to forbid their men from doing the things their guys love to do that could possibly cause injury. We think we are doing this out of love and that we are “protecting our men.” But is this…
